Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

I rant and rave about noise pollution.

It's much more fun to be ugly.

I'd totally be attracted to a geek girl!

I want to keep audiences off balance, so they don't know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I'll have a longer shelf life.

I owe my father everything.

I've always believed that as an actor anything you're asked to do is within you. You just have to try and find it.

Hunger's a great spur.

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.

I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.

Your resources could go to where your hands could not reach.

I grew up with Frank Sinatra and it has taken me a long time to get to a place where I really enjoy [U2's] music.

It is our uniqueness that gives freshness and vitality to a relationship.

I get stressed out really easily.

You need to think about the system that you live in and the comforts that you have. But the comforts that you have that are causing the discomforts of a massive amount of people around the world.

I burned too bright. I saw too much.

A face is too slight a foundation for happiness.

Anyone can sleep with a guy in 24-48 hours, but you're sending the wrong signal to the guy if you do that.

The world, with all its beauty and adventure, its richness and variety, is darkened by cruelty. Death, if it ends the loveliness, the adventure, ends also that. Death balances the picture.
